Chapter 836 - Changes in the cultivation room!
On the other side, people like the Xiaoyao Ancestral Master, one of the four great Ancestral Masters, and Dugu Yi all bought Wukong’s champion skin gift bag.
Eagerly, they entered the game.
“First… I’ll get myself familiar with the monkey in a solo queue matchup.” The Xiaoyao Ancestral Master rubbed his hands eagerly. Although Sun Wukong was a melee champion, Xiaoyao Ancestral Master saw the gods and immortals in the Journey to the West could engage in both melee combat and ranged battles, so he decided to try it.
Upon entering the game, Xiaoyao Ancestral Master looked at the champion options and asked after a moment of consideration, “Which lanes are you taking?”
“P1 is top!”
[TL Note: P1 stands for player 1. In Chinese, it is called ‘first floor’]
“P2 is mid!”
“Then… P3 is support!”
“I’m P5, I will jungle then.”
“Um…?” Xiaoyao Ancestral Master was baffled. “They say players in solo queue matchup always fight for the roles. How come they are so nice today?”
They even left the carry position to me!?
But…
Since he was coming here to play the Monkey King, he asked tentatively, “How about I play support? By the way, what champions are you choosing?”
While he spoke, he moved to choose the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal when the option suddenly turned grey.
“Huh…?” The Xiaoyao Ancestral Master saw that his teammate, P1, had chosen a champion with a big monkey head.
“???” The Xiaoyao Ancestral Master froze.
“P1 Wukong top lane!” The announcement sounded very dominating.
As a grandmaster player, I haven’t even played the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal yet. And you, a guy from nowhere, dare to take the monkey to the top lane?!
Before Xiaoyao Ancestral Master could speak, P2 said, “I’m going Wukong mid. I’m a gold player! I ensure you guys that I’m not a feeder!”
“Bullsh*t!” P5 cursed, “I’m a diamond player!”
Xiaoyao Ancestral Master frowned and said, “Stop it. I’m a grandmaster player. Let me play the Great Sage.”
P2 said, “F*ck off! Today, I played over ten games with players who claimed to be a grandmaster, but they were damn feeders! I’m taking the monkey mid lane! If you don’t give Wukong to me, I’ll feed!”
The moment he said it, they saw P1 lock in his choice!
Abode Master Lingxu Zi looked at their ancestral master and said, “Ancestral Master is playing League of Legends again! Come over and learn from watching him play!”
The cultivators of the Xiaoyao Cave Abode all walked up.
“Huh? Ancestral Master, how come you are taking revive and teleport again?”
“Hey?! How come you guys are all charging toward the enemy turrets?!”
“Um?! Ancestral Master?!”
“These teammates are just a group of… a group of…?!” The Xiaoyao Ancestral Master slammed his hand on the desk in fury.
“A group of noobs!” Behind him, Lingxu Zi saw that their ancestral master was stuck midsentence and immediately provided the word for him.
[TL Note: In China, people call others ‘elementary schooler’ for being noobs. Many elementary schoolers in China play League, and they are bad.]
“Right! A group of noobs!” Xiaoyao Ancestral Master cursed, “This game is free for the enemies! Free!”
The moment he said it, he saw that Evil Emperor Shang Jiuwen sitting next to him was busy playing as Wukong.
He glanced at the score and saw that KD was 0-9.
[TL Note: KD: Kill – Death.]
“… You’re a noob!”
…
“I hear that Erlang Immortal Master is no less powerful than the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal…” After watching the fourth episode of Journey to the West, people were either buying Wukong’s champion and skin gift bags or talking about the content of the TV Series.
[What’s the background of Erlang Immortal Master…?] Many people sent messages to the shop owner, asking, [Sir, can you explain it to us?]
After all, this mythology system was so huge that lots of the stuff in it was unheard of for people in this world despite the knowledge that they obtained in the Legend of Sword and Fairy and the Legend of the White Snake.
At this moment, Fang Qi was in the Cultivation Room, studying the System which was 50 percent upgraded.
Words on the System Interface said, [The upgrade is not finished. Host, please experience parts of the upgraded content by yourself.]
Before Fang Qi, the world was desolate. The land had collapsed with only countless heavenly pillars supporting a giant and magnificent palace in mid-air.
An impeccable and extremely noble ultimate godly figure stood on the godly palace!
The figure was Qi Tiandi!
Standing opposite to him was a white-robed swordsman who was looking forward fearlessly with a chilly gaze while gusts flapped his robe and belt violently!
Standing next to the swordsman was a white-robed monk who raised a hand vertically before his chest with a merciful look on his face.
There were words next to the figures.
[Qi Tiandi, the Saint Demon Vital Embryo. Synchronization Rate: 3%. Complete Synchronization in this space: not available]
[Feng Zhihen, the Demonic Style Sword. Synchronization Rate: 15%. Complete Synchronization in this space: available]
[Yi Yeshu, the Brahma. Synchronization Rate… ]
Then, with a spin of the pendant in Fang Qi’s hand, the scene before him changed.
It changed into a monkey dressed in gold armor and holding the Golden-Hooped Rod. Opposite to the monkey were gods and buddhas filling the sky!
[Sun Wukong, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal. Synchronization Rate: 2%. Complete Synchronization in this space: not available]
[Yang Jiang, the Erlang Immortal Master. Synchronization Rate: 2%. Complete Synchronization in this space: not available]
As a note on the side, the synchronization rates were determined by Fang Qi’s progress in training instead of the power of the characters.
“It added… this wondrous function?! In the Cultivation Room, I can train in a certain battle as a certain character?!” Mr. Fang looked at the scene before him with great pleasure and surprise.
“Huh… Who’s sending me messages?” Mr. Fang was about to enter cultivation when many messages popped up on his communication jade.
“Erlang Immortal Master…?”
Jiang Xiaoyue asked, [Sir… Can you explain it to me…? ]
“I’m busy…” Mr. Fang replied.
[What are you doing…?] Jiang Xiaoyue asked with a pitiable expression, [Can you just tell a little bit? Just a little bit?]
“Um…” Mr. Fang thought for a moment. [I’ll tell you a story about the heavenly dog which eats the sun…]
[TL Note: In ancient China, when eclipses appeared, people believed that the heavenly dog ate the moon or the sun.]
“Okay! Okay!” The loli instantly beamed happily.
…
“Heavenly Dog Eating the Sun… do you know this story? It’s said that the naughty Roaring Heavenly Dog, Erlang Immortal Master’s pet, swallowed the sun, which is why there’s no sun during the day occasionally…” In the new shop at the East Continent, Xiaoyue played League of Legends and showed off her knowledge of the ancient legends.
“Even the Erlang Immortal Master’s dog is so powerful…” Xiaoyue’s senior sisters and elders all looked at her in surprise while gasping, “How did you learn about it?!”
“Hehehe! The shop owner told me.”
“Why didn’t he tell me?” Grand Elder Zhuge Qingyun looked sulky. “Aiya!”
“Um…”
They all knew Sun Wukong’s background, but the stories of the other immortals and gods piqued the cultivators’ curiosity.
For example, they were curious about the Erlang Immortal Master, the only immortal who could break even with the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.
“Erlang Immortal Master can do 72 transformations too… do you think that he is in fact Sun Wukong’s senior brother?!” Yu Yin said thoughtfully.
“The Great Sage already said that the Jade Emperor is Erlang’s uncle…” Mu Qing said, “He even asked Erlang before the battle, ‘I remember that the sister of the Jade Emperor some years ago became enamored with the region below. She married a man by the name of Yang and had a son by him. Are you that boy who was reputed to have cleaved open Peach Mountain with his ax?’”
[It seems like there’s a story about it…] Not only the disciples, but even the elders and the Faction Master were chatting about it in a group chat on QQ named ‘Heavenly Heritage’. The Heavenly Faction’s Elder Xiao Yunhe said, [Let’s put this topic aside for a moment. Guys, do you know how the Great Sage got these abilities… For example, how he is able to turn his hair into small monkeys?]
“Yeah…” Dugu Xiao said on the side, [I didn’t see the patriarch teach him that in the Mountain of Mind and Heart!]
Gu Tingyun replied, [In my opinion… the pithy formula that the patriarch taught is so wondrous that understanding it will lead to comprehension of many other things. Besides, the immortal elixirs greatly increased Wukong’s cultivation strength, which is why he could make those spiritual spells so powerful!]
[I must go back and hear the pithy formula again. I’ll watch it again…!] the Heavenly Faction’s Grand Elder Zhuge Qingyun said.
